Any person who is a proponent of a war while not enlisting and going off to fight in said war. A kind of hypocrite. Really, a chickenhawk is
one who says: "it's okay for other
mother's sons and children's fathers to go off and get
shot, dismembered and incinerated, but me, I'm too much of a wilting daisy to go off and break a nail trying to load one of those gun thingies."
My campus is swarming with chickenhawks. They wave signs saying "support our troops," but ask them to sign their flabby asses up and go take the risks they demand others take, they
run like
sissy cowards and
cheer for Bush while the Tigris runs red with the blood of braver men.
